REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Total indifference to someone getting violent threats.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon May 16, 2016, 11:49 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: "You stupid cunt"
"You stupid bitch"
"Better look for a new job asshat"
Oh, im not talking about the offender poster, these were comments left to this woman. To be fucking quite honest, Im sick and god damned tired of people be openly hostile to women because they think they can get away with it due to anonymity of the the internet, cellphones, whatever. If it was up to me, the posters IP should be burned from this site forever, and then made to walk of shame down their neighborhood

Signed - Separation

Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Worse than that, they are suggesting that the victim of the attacks is "disgusting."
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I agree with the alerter.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Maybe the Democratic chairperson _is_ disgusting. It's the poster's opinion and I don't see how one DUers opinion of a state party chairperson will keep Democrats from being elected. Alerters should rebut the post in the thread.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

17. Thanks for the info.

Fortunately rationality prevailed. I am NOT referring to the offensive language in the 'outside world,' but to her highly offensive ACTIONS.

[Exilednight]

27. here's the irony

"I'm sick and god damned tired of people be openly hostile to women because they think they can get away with it due to anonymity of the the internet"

Says an anonymous poster on the internet. And you probably sit around and wonder why no one takes you seriously.

2. Brockaganda? n/t

[silvershadow]

4. You might not be wrong. nt

[winter is coming]

6. That's the downside of being a campaign with a reputation

for, shall we say, "reality creation"? Once you have a rep for pushing false narratives, there's a risk that anything negative that might otherwise have been attributed to your opponent or his followers is dismissed as just another round of bullshittery on your part.

[silvershadow]

8. Well she has that...in piles. nt

[bvf]

12. My first thought, too.

Not that hard to figure out.

[B Calm]

30. +1

Fabricated?

[AtomicKitten]

35. It's what he does.

[AntiBank]

3. I would be willing to wager a fair number of these multiple attacks are Brock trolls

Assymetrical warfare is not just on physical battlefields.

[silvershadow]

5. The Corporate State certainly has the resources to throw at such an

effort.

[AntiBank]

7. Operation Brockstag

Named for that little fire in Germany circa the 27th of February 1933.

[Separation]

10. Im also sure that none of these are just pissed of that she is a woman

[elleng]

18. Not pissed off that she's a woman AT ALL,

surely not 'just,' but as to her ACTIONS.

[Live and Learn]

14. +10,000 nt

9. What Roberta Gustav Lange did at that convention was worse than disgusting.

[bluestateguy]

11. Hopefully you condemn the violent threats she is getting

Disagree with her running of the convention all you want, but I do hope you will condemn violent threats.

[nc4bo]

25. +1 and thank you! nt

[bluestateguy]

38. Here. But I'm sure you won't be satisfied that this meets your demands

http://m.reviewjournal.com/politics/local/nevada-state-democratic-party-s-headquarters-las-vegas-closed-after-weekend-chaos

A Metropolitan Police Department spokesman confirmed Monday that the agency is investigating the threats. He declined to comment further, as the investigation continues.

So, late yesterday afternoon, I phoned nine people who’d texted Lange insults or threats. I reached three of them.

15. This is being retweeted everywhere. I've retweeted it from anyone that posted it.

There's also a NY Times article that being retweeted everywhere. Some Bernie supporters are planning mayhem for the Philadelphia convention. But since HRC is a secret service protectee for the past 20 odd years and there will be a former president there, I imagine security will be extremely tight.


The NV Dem Party also filed a letter of complaint regarding the behavior Bernie supporters at their state convention. I think this is appropriate. given what I saw on video.

There's more and much worse. it's hard to imagine Democrats acting like this.

[elleng]

19. What's hard to imagine is the behavior of lange.

[underthematrix]

20. Lange didn't do anything wrong. In her complaint letter

Lange outlined what happened. Republicans cannot be seated as delegates at the state convention.

Bernie supporters wanted a rule change to accommodate their violation of the rules so their illegal delegates could be seated. When this didn't happen, they resorted to verbal and physical violence which required LE intervention.

I'm patient and calm because I know in the end HRC will be the nominee.

22. Interview with Nina Turner re: Nevada and more..

23. Nina Turner earned a spot on my shit list

I wish the sista well but when she decided to support Bernie I was done with her. http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2015/11/nina_turner_changes_her_mind_o.html

[Jitter65]

41. Mine too. nt

[pdsimdars]

21. You reap what you sow, isn't that the age old truth?

She needs to step down.

[all american girl]

44. So, I guess she deserves death threats...

[Gavile]

24. Could have been sent by anyone

[Mike Nelson]

26. Awful...

...I hope these vicious threats are taken seriously and the perpetrators caught.

[bluestateguy]

28. "We don't condone it, but what could SHE have done to prevent this from happening?"

That's essentially what some of the excuse-makers above seem to be saying.

Now imagine if such things were said to woman who was raped?

[timmymoff]

34. do you mean like the young lady

Hillary smeared as an attorney to get her client out of rape charges? Something like that?

[hellofromreddit]

29. You're right. Ralston is simply terrible.

[hrmjustin]

32. Rather telling and disappointing responses.

[bluestateguy]

33. I guess it just shows that violent threats against women are apparently ok under some circumstances

If your cause is righteous enough then apparently those tactics are ok to these folks.

[imagine2015]

37. Hillary remains silent about the violent physical attack against a women Bernie supporter.

The attack was made by one of her prominent male supporters.

Did you post anything against that attack and do you think Hillary should condemn such actual physical attacks.

Naw.

Let it slide.

[obamanut2012]

40. yes

[imagine2015]

36. I wonder if any of them are actual Bernie supporters. No evidence yet. Could be right-wing posers

Or part of the "dirty tricks" operation by a SuperPac. That's what they do.

[oasis]

42. Tantrumgate is going to be on the minds of responsible Democratic voters

for the remainder of the primary season.

[Tarc]

43. Surprised that Sanders supporters use the same tactics as Gamergate and Men's Rights Activists?

Given the overlap of those 3 groups, I'm not surprised a bit.
